Hi,

What you need to do is install Silva and then create/develop a Silva and install the documentation.
You can then have a look at the templates used for rendering the documentation. It has a header a left block for the menu and a central part for the information.

Hi, I use to make a template like this:
TOP TOP TOP TOP
MENU BODY
           BODY
           BODY
BOTTOM

<html metal:define-macro="page">
  <head>
   <metal:block define-slot="head">
   <title tal:content="template/title">The Title</title>
   </metal:block>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.top {background-image:url(banniere.JPG);
  width: 790px;
height: 150px;
  background-color: #123476;
  margin-left: 0px;
  margin-top: 0px;
position: absolute;

left: 5px;
  }
.menu {

  width: 170px;
  height: 300px;
  background-color: #123456;
  margin-left: 0px;
  margin-top: 0px;
position: absolute;
  top: 150px;
left: 5px;

  }
.corps {
  width: 620px;
  height: 600px;
  background-color: #123486;
  margin-left: 0px;
  margin-top: 0px;
position: absolute;
top: 150px;
left: 175px;
  }
.bas {
  width: 790px;
  height: 50px;
  background-color: #123476;
  margin-left: 0px;
  margin-top: 0px;
position: absolute;
  top: 750px;
left: 5px;
  }
-->
</style>

  </head>
  <body>

 <div metal:define-slot="top" ALIGN=center class="top">
    TOP TOP
    </div>

 <div metal:define-slot="menu" ALIGN=left class="menu">
    MENU
    </div>

    <div metal:define-slot="body" ALIGN=center class="corps">
    BODY BODY
    </div>

    <div metal:define-slot="bas" ALIGN=center class="bas">
   BOTTOM
    </div>

  </body>
</html>

Now I don't know how to tell the template (<href >?), I using to do something like this:
<a href="standard_template.pt"
 tal:attributes="href TITLE/topPage/MenuPage/BodyPage/BottomPage">
The link</a>

Thanks
